Game 7 of the World Series averaged 51 million viewers combined across the United States, Canada and Japan, making it the most-watched MLB game globally in 34 years, the league announced Wednesday.
Spanning back nearly three-and-a-half decades was Game 7 of the 1991 World Series, which pitted the Minnesota Twins against the Atlanta Braves. The Twins secured a 1-0 win in 10 innings.
Back to last Saturday, the Los Angeles Dodgers recorded their second straight World Series title by posting a 5-4 victory in 11 innings over the host Toronto Blue Jays.
The Dodgers feature Japanese stars Shohei Ohtani and World Series MVP Yoshinobu Yamamoto, while the Canadian-based Blue Jays were making their first World Series appearance since 1993.
The breakdown of the viewership is as follows:
--The United States drew an average of 16.1 million viewers over the entire seven-game series across Fox, Fox Deportes, Univision, the Fox Sports App and Fox One.
--Canada averaged 8.1 million viewers for the entire series and 11.6 million for Game 7 through Sportsnet and TVA Sports.
--Japan drew an average of 9.7 million viewers for the entire series and 12.0 million on NHK-BS for Game 7, despite having a 9 a.m. local start time.
The 34 million viewers combined in three countries helped make the 2025 World Series the most-watched Fall Classic globally since 1992, when the Blue Jays beat the Braves in six games.
